HOTEL ROOM RESERVATIONS:
STAY OVERNIGHT AT THE BEAUTIFUL BURBANK AIRPORT HILTON AND TURN THE CONVENTION INTO A FULL SCALE non-stop party! Special room rates of $109 apply, call the hotel at 818-843-6000 and mention the Battlestar Galactica convention to get this special rate.

Creation Entertainment holds a "block" of rooms for our attendees as described above. These blocks of rooms have a lower rate than standard rates at the hotel, but they also have a "cut-off" point after which hotels may choose to revert back to their own higher rates for our customers. Usually this cut off date is one month prior to the event, but this does vary. Therefore it is always wise to book your rooms for our conventions as early as possible.


DEALERS: Click for more information All dealers must have a temporary sellers permit from the State of California if you intend to sell at this event. You may view, print and mail the required sellers permit form from the California State Web site
